The Society promotes interest in the history of Olveston and surrounding areas and collects and preserves documentary and photographic records.
We meet at the Methodist Church on the first Wednesday of each month from October to April with guest speakers on topics as diverse as The Severn Channel during the Ice Age and Concorde. In Summer we usually have two or three field trips, often following up talks given during the previous winter. Visitors are always welcomed and, more often than not, recruited.
